French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday voiced solidarity with Spain following recent threats by US President Donald Trump over Madrid’s stance on Iran.
Macron has just spoken with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez “to express France’s European solidarity in response to the recent threats of economic coercion that Spain was targeted with yesterday," the French Presidency told broadcaster BFMTV.
European Council President Antonio Costa also expressed the EU’s solidarity with Madrid and noted that the bloc “will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.”
Absolutely not valid targets, bordering on war crimes.
Which in no way justifies attacking civilians on the other side. Hotels, airports, embassies…
Embassies often hold intelligence offices. They’re absolutely a valid target. Airports are infrastructure that supports military operations. (Flying in food and other supplies) Hotels that have been hit were where military personnel were staying. (When other countries do this it’s called ‘using human shields’)
Bullshit excuse. You can use the same reasoning to excuse Israel actuons: hospitals support military operations, schools educate future soldiers, weddings are attended by potential soldiers.
Ben Gurion airport LITERALLY has an Airforce Base attached to it. The US LITERALLY evacuated their bases and had personnel staying in local hotels. Arguing against this is like saying the Iranian frigate in Indonesia wasn’t a valid target because it wasn’t in the theater of war
What about Dubai Airport?
